I don't write much code on a whiteboard, so that makes two of us.
But I agree that having a discussion about such problems can be productive. It may help separate legitimate problem-solving from mere hazing.
- alistairSH 7y agoFWIW, I make a white-board available, but don't require it's use. I'm not looking for syntactically correct code. I want to know how a candidate would approach a problem. If that involves them drawing or writing pseudo-code, that's fine with me. If they can talk through the questions without the board, that's fine too.
